I was driving today and stopped at a stop sign waiting for a garbage truck to pass, but then it turned on its blinker and turned right. I noticed that both the passenger AND driver side had steering wheels and both were turning their steering wheels. How does that work???

I worked with city garbage and recycling years ago, and the drivers used the steering interchangeably based on which side of the road they were collecting on, so they didn’t have to move as much to either get to the street or be able to access the side controls.
It might not seem like it’s very far, but when you need to get out of the truck 400 times a day it really adds up.
